Since you imply that you have some unique discernment abilities, the distinction that I'm about to make should be easy for you to grasp.
My point was that many freepers REALLY despise Mormonism and Mormons.
To suggest that those who regularly post on the Mormon threads hate Mormons is a false accusation. We don't hate MormonS, we hate MormonISM. The difference is an institution as opposed to the people. Most of the regular posters in these threads are ex-Mormons and/or have many friends and family who are Mormon. Are you suggesting that they hate their own family and friends? What sense does it make to hate people who are deceived by an evil institution? Hating the victim is irrational.
Your teammate, sand lake bar, should read Proverbs 26:17. I know that he considers this nothing but the words of men but the wisdom is evident:
Whoever enters a quarrel not his own is like one who grabs a passing dog by the ears.
So extreme dislike for an institution doesn’t splash over onto those who aggressively support that organization? I don’t buy it.
That’s like saying you hate Communism, but have nothing but warm fuzzy feelings for individual Communists. At some point, doesn’t a supporter of an organization become responsible for what that organization stands for?
I have no doubt you are more than happy to accept ex-Mormons, or possibly even inactive church members, but active devout members who are trying to trick others into their false religion? You don’t despise them? Really? You have nothing against Joseph Smith or Brigham Young as persons, only against their doctrines?
